A good friend of mine was also a chef in Vancouver and went through what westopher is thinking of/going through. Went into a retail sales role for a tech company (you guys can guess - company is the name of a fruit and the first letter of the alphabet) and is doing a lot better financially and coming home a lot happier.

I met up with him earlier last month when I was in Vancouver and I asked if he'd ever go back into the restaurant industry, and it was a hard no. Despite him saying that the job doesn't appear to be glamorous on the outside, he gave zero fucks and I've never seen him happier. I actually get to see him now as opposed to before which was impossible.
